[WATCHDOG] w83627hf_wdt.c-initialized_bios_bug
Attached is a small update to the w83627hf watchdog driver to initialise appropriately if it was already initialised in the BIOS. On tyan motherboards for e.g. you can init the watchdog to 4 mins, then when the driver is loaded it sets the watchdog to "seconds" mode, and then machine will reboot within 4 seconds. So this patch resets the timeout to the configured value if the watchdog is already running. Signed-off-by: P@draig Brady <P@draigBrady.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
